Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 28157a
"يَقُولُ اللَّه -تَعَالَى-: وَعِزَّتِى وَجَلَالِى وَجُودِى وَفَاقَة خَلقِى إِلىَّ وَارتِفَاعِى في عِزِّ مَكَانِى إِنِّى لأَسْتَحِى مِنْ عَبْدِى وَأَمَتِى أَنْ يَشِيبَا في الإِسْلَام ثُمَّ أُعَذِّبُهُمَا، ثُمَّ بَكَى، فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ قَالَ: أَبْكِى مِمَّنْ يَسْتَحِى اللَّه مِنْهُ وَلَا يَسْتَحِى مِنَ اللَّه".

Machine translation, not reviewed
"Allah -Exalted is He- says: By My might, My majesty, My generosity, the neediness of My creation toward Me, and My elevation in the honor of My station, indeed I am shy before My male servant and My female servant who grow old in Islam, that I would then punish them." Then he wept. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what makes you weep? He said: I weep for one before whom Allah is shy, yet he is not shy before Allah."
